Conservative-led Wiltshire Council's partnership with the Ministry of Defence to prepare for thousands of service personnel and their families moving to Wiltshire, has been held up as an example of best practice.

The Conservatives on Wiltshire Council today agreed a budget which will prioritise vital frontline services and continue investment into key areas despite reductions in government funding. The Liberal Democrat opposition voted against the budget proposals – without offering an alternative.

The Conservative administration of Wiltshire Council delivered yet another community building as a new community centre in Malmesbury was officially opened today and is already proving to be a hit with local residents.
